Shuswap Stabbing

Three charged in Shuswap stabbing, two still at large

Sep 9, 2020 | 3:05 PM

The B.C. Prosecution Service has charged three men in connection with a stabbing last month in the Shuswap, and two of them are still on the loose.

According to Salmon Arm RCMP, the stabbing took place in Blind Bay on August 17. A man arrived at a home in the community, bleeding profusely and looking for help after suffering multiple stab wounds.

At the time, investigators believed the incident had taken place at a nearby car wash.

In a news release issued Wednesday (Sept. 9), RCMP say they have charged 33-year-old Jordy Kyle Moyan of Kelowna, 36-year-old Alexander Vittal Boucher of Enderby and 40-year-old Terrance Alan Jones of Edmonton.

Each is facing charges of attempted murder, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and robbery with a firearm. Jones is facing additional charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence.
